At the meeting on April 28, 2016, the Board of Education of Calvert County Public Schools appointed Laveeta Hutchins as the Director of Human Resources.
Dr. Daniel Curry, Superintendent, said, “We are pleased to have someone with Ms. Hutchins’ experience step into the role of Director of Human Resources. Her school and central office roles have provided her with the insight to facilitate the hiring of highly skilled employees. She has the expertise to implement processes and procedures to ensure compliance with state and federal laws.”
A graduate of Calvert High School, Ms. Hutchins has devoted her career to Calvert County Public Schools. She began teaching at Mutual Elementary, eventually becoming a vice principal there and later at Huntingtown Elementary. In 1996, she was appointed as principal of the newly-opened Windy Hill Elementary. Opening a new school included hiring a complete staff, developing the processes of a new school and welcoming parents and students to a new school community. Ms. Hutchins led Windy Hill Elementary on its journey to a school of excellence.
In 2005 she became a supervisor at the district level, overseeing programs such as English for Speakers of Other Languages, Service Learning and Physical Education and Health. In 2009 she took over the Federal Title 1 program, leading the program to a high degree of effectiveness and compliance. Her career took on a new dimension in 2013 when she was appointed Supervisor of Human Resources. Each of these positions has prepared her to take on the challenging task of serving as the Director of Human Resources.
Throughout her tenure in Calvert County Public Schools, Ms. Hutchins has earned the respect of her colleagues and the community. Her priority is always acting in the best interest of children when making decisions as an educator. Her professionalism, integrity and work ethic are what make her a true leader for Calvert County Public Schools.
